(E) A section of the brain of a gynandromorphic finch processed for in situ hybridization with probes to sex-specific transcripts (dark signal = female chromosome, no signal = male chromosome), where expression of a molecular marker in the brain of a gynandromorphic finch reveals that the separation between male and female cells is exactly down the midline.
